These T1-147 transgenic mice (harboring the E1-T147 transgene) develop metastatic pancreatic acinar cell cancer as a result of expression of the 1-147 amino acid fragment of simian virus 40 large T antigen (TAg) directed to pancreatic acinar cells by the rat elastase 1 (Ela1 or E1) upstream control region.

Hemizygous T1-147 transgenic mice (harboring the E1-T147 transgene) are viable and fertile, with high-level expression of an N-terminal, truncated (1-147 amino acid), and mutant (does not express the small t antigen) form of simian virus 40 large T antigen (TAg) directed to pancreatic acinar cells by the rat elastase 1 (Ela1 or E1) upstream control region. Hemizygous T1-147 transgenic mice exhibit pancreatic dysplasia in the embryonic pancreas, with cancer progression after birth to primary pancreatic acinar cell tumor formation (100% penetrance). These mice have microadenomas and acinar cell carcinomas present as early as 10 weeks of age, and become moribund or show clear evidence of abdominal distention around 20-30 weeks of age. T1-147 transgenic mice with large tumors develop metastatic disease to the liver and mesenteric lymph nodes. The donating investigator reports that the cancer phenotype of these T1-147 transgenic mice is identical to that of their similar T1-127 transgenic mice. These T1-147 transgenic mice may be useful in studying pancreatic acinar cell cancer and metastasis.
The E1-T147 transgene was designed with a 4.3 kb rat elastase 1 (Ela1 or E1) gene upstream control region, LTR stabilizer, and SV40 late 16S splice site all upstream of the simian virus 40 large T antigen (TAg) coding sequence for amino acids 1-147 (with stop codon introduced at amino acid 148) and polyA sequence. This transgene was microinjected into pronuclei of B6D2F1/J x C57BL/6 embryos, and the resulting transgenic offspring were bred to C57BL/6J mice. The T1-147 transgenic mice (founder line 289) mice were established, and subsequently backcrossed to C57BL/6 inbred mice for at least 20 generations prior to arrival at The Jackson Laboratory. Upon arrival, mice were bred with C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) to establish the colony.

When maintaining a live colony, hemizygous mice may be bred with noncarrier littermates or with C57BL/6J inbred mice. The donating investigator breeds hemizygous males with noncarrier females, and reports decreased litter sizes may result from breeding to homozygosity.

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project. We do not guarantee breeding performance and therefore suggest that investigators order more than one breeding pair to avoid delays in their research.
